I have a win xp box running instant rails. I installed ferret (the win
version) and acts_as_ferret seemingly succesfully. I then added "require
'acts_as_ferret'" to the environment.rb file of my project. However, I
cannot get webrick/mongrel to start. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hi Rick
I had the same problem but after I reinstalled ferret with 'gem install
ferret' command, mongrel started normally.
If you havent installed ferret do this:
gem install ferret
and then start the server, it might work.
And if you have installed acts_as_ferret locally in your project in the
vendor/plugin directory you need not have to type 'require
acts_as_ferret' in environment.rb
Cheers

Thanks Cass,
That seems to have worked. I need to do some testing to check it out
completely.
